Half-Russian and minored in Russian language at university. Reason why Russia is so backwards for a wannabe superpower (they're actually a 2nd-world not 1st-world nation) is because of their nationalistic trait of fatalism. The belief that fate influences their lives more than self-determination. Their medical system is a joke, as are many of their scientific institutions where brilliant scientists make do with outdated equipments or a lot less than Western scientists. What's kept Russian culture and people alive throughout history is that they do have a large segment of intelligentsia that influenced the world in fields of science, literature, music, and performing arts. But aside from that, there's a huge segment of trash people who fit the worst of Russian stereotypes: drunk, prone to violence, mistrustful of outsiders, etc.... Russians once you get to know as friends, are friendly and accepting of you as an outsider into their fold, but overall they will still mistrust non-Russians.
There is a good reason for this, Russians have been invaded by foreign armies throughout greater part of their history, from the Mongols to the Nazi Germans. However, the Russians are very durable, hearty people; without Russians fighting the Germans in WW2, we'd be looking at Hitler-controlled Europe. This is fact and consensus among historians. Despite what we've been taught by American history books, we did not win WW2, the Russians did. Over 80% of German military casualties occurred on the Eastern Front fighting against the Russians. There is a good reason that WW2 is not known as WW2 in Russia, but The Great Patriotic War, where over 27 million civilians and military died directly as result of the war. Hitler was done for once he invaded Russia. He did it because he believed the Russians to be subpar Caucasians fit only to be slaves for the Germans.
Now for looks because that's important for DL'ers, Russian men tend to not age that well. Sure, there are many who are hot for short while when they're young, but once they hit 40 it's like they're hit with fat and ugly sticks at same time. Same goes for Russian women, they keep their looks and figures even worse than Russian men. Most Russian women even the beautiful ones (not talking about models who have $$$ to keep up appearances) become fat very easily and once they're in late 30s it's all downhill with wrinkles, sagging, in addition to weight gain. Beautiful Russian women are some of the most stunning women in the world (due to Slavic and influx of Mongol genes they say), but only up to certain age. Compare the Russian relatives/ acquaintances with my Taiwanese half of relatives/ acquaintances and it's not even close, same socioeconomic circumstances and the Taiwanese ones (especially women) always look younger/ thinner, better skin. Russian food also does them no good, Russian cuisine is full of butter, sour cream,, other dairy, and meat, lots of white potatoes, low in green vegetables and antioxidants. The only thing I like are the black bread, some zakuski (hors d'oeuvre dishes), and my grandmother's fish pie which is the only rich dish I make and like.
Link to a good read about Siege of Leningrad. The mass suffering of Russians during WW2 isn't even comparable to what other nations in Europe suffered.

This 'Russia has been constantly invaded' meme is ridiculous. Russia has been an expanding empire for over half a millennium; occasionally it has to pull back a bit and give up some conquests, after self-inflicted civil wars or inept leadership, and then whines about being attacked by its 'evil' neighbours.

Well, looking only at the 20th century after WWI: Revolution and civil war (ca. 7 million dead), collectivization, resettlement and Stalinist repressions (an estimate of 9 million dead, including the 1932/33 famine and millions more in the Gulag system), WWII (ca. 26 million civil and military dead), another decade of Stalinist repressions, three more decades of maybe slightly less repressive communism, but increasing stagnation, followed by a decade of absolute chaos, poverty, crime and complete disillusionment, when people were hoping for freedom. Basically, it was a century of collective trauma with each generation carrying their own burden. Existing social structures were violently and irreversibly uprooted and overturned twice instead of being allowed to change gradually and naturally, and human life was generally worth very little. What do you expect?
by Anonymous | reply 55 | February 28, 2019 9:10 PM |
R55 I agree with you, however it doesn't fully extend to other countries that have gone through similar events in recent history. Japan was absolutely devastated after WW2 and their emperor barely escaped the hangman's noose himself. Japanese society literally went to total decimation of all industries to world leader in technology and business in the 1970s. They hosted the Olympics less than 20 years after the whole nation became a wasteland post-WW2. Granted, the country had the stewardship of American presence, but the Japanese character(very prideful) was the deciding factor in such a dramatic turnaround. There is such a thing as national characteristic, and Russian one is fatalistic, it's partly why alcoholism and societal ills are so bad and not changing soon. You can expect to be gay-bashed walking down the street and be perceived as gay, for example. A British friend of mine who is a ballet lover went to St. Petersburg to watch a ballet festival there, he was able to find some small bars catering to locals and gay tourists, but he said the locals there acknowledged how bad it is over there but they're not intent on changing or challenging homophobic views.

One interesting fact that might explain a bit of Russia's inability to get democracy going - unlike western Europe, which had a feudal system in which the various Counts, Dukes, Lords and lesser nobility maintained their own lands and even had their own armies, in Russia, the Tsar had absolute title to every bit of land in the entire country. No member of the Russian nobility ever owned his/her land as a birthright. Any time a person was in favor with the Tsar, he could be granted a gorgeous estate that had until that minute been lived in by some other noble family who was now out of favor. The serfs also went with the land, so when you, as a nobleman, lost your land, you also lost your serfs. Why does that make a difference? Throughout Europe, and especially in England, the powerful noblemen served as a check on the absolute power of the king - because they could band together, join their armies together, and make battle upon the king. That was impossible in Russia. So absolute monarchy in Russia was succeeded by absolute dictatorship (Soviet style), followed by a brief attempt at democracy which quickly reverted to absolute dictatorship and oligarchy. There has never been a tradition of real opposition to the holder of the power.
At a lower stratus of society, the Russian mafia runs everything. People are used to having to pay bribes for absolutely everything. They are shaken down by the police, by thugs, by anyone who can get away with it, or has weapons or friends in the local city council or in the Duma.

I think it’s always been a pretty brutal place. I know a Russian person who grew up in Ukraine and Moscow, and she seems to have nostalgia for it sometimes specifically because of the poorer and therefore simpler life there. She says relationships with people were always much stronger there than they are here, and she seems conflicted about raising her kids in this culture because we’re materially focused instead of relationship focused. But life was hard there, is easier here, and she wouldn’t move back when it comes down to it. Interestingly, she says she understands why Putin likes Trump, because they lead similarly (bullies)—and she says in Russia, people are more comfortable with an authoritarian than with any other kind of leader because their history and culture make them expect that all leaders are corrupt and dictatorial. So when someone is an overt dictator, they know exactly who they are dealing with and what the rules are; when someone comes into power who presents himself as a friend of the people and not corrupt, they all panic because they don’t believe he’s who he says and so they are always on pins and needles waiting for the ball to drop.
I saw a long documentary on Catherine the Great one day that made me interested in Russian culture and history. Part of it focused on Russia as a country and a nation—not really Europe, not Asia, with aspects of both but politically aligning itself with Europe and culturally insisting on being its own thing. But that is practically impossible because the country is so vast and the cultures in different territories are so diverse: St. Petersburg is Europe, really, and then there are territories in the East where people look Mongolian and practice shamanism, and the people in the southern territories are basically Middle Eastern, and so although Catherine tried to rein them all in and get them to assume a unified Russian identity, it just has never really been possible. And yet Russian leaders always want to expand their territories and ansorb more countries whose cultures are contrary to theirs, which makes for more political turmoil and distrust between the government and the public.
I learned from that doc that during a smallpox epidemic that ravaged Europe, Catherine the Great brought in a French scientist who theorized that innoculations could make people immune to diseases. Catherine’s counsel thought it was the worst idea ever, but she believed in science and she volunteered to be innoculated. Smallpox swept through St. Petersburg, and she didn’t get it because she had been vaccinated.

As r73 pointed out, Russia has mostly been overseen by totalitarian regimes. Given the Russian population is often roughly twice that of Germany but those people are spread over a land mass roughly 20 times that of Germany, totalitarianism just isn't practical in such circumstances.
That's a hell of a terrain to oversee, maintain order over and provide infrastructure for. A democratic government structure actually makes better sense for that incredible landmass and population density.
Not to mention that for centuries now, there have been Russians actively seeking to avoid being ruled by anyone by disappearing into the wilderness and setting up home there.

The simple act of smiling in Russian culture is considered offensive in many situations., For example, if you're a stranger, they see it as inappropriate behavior, or, even if you are an acquaintance, as an act of dishonesty or masking something else. A co-worker of mine traveled to the former Soviet Union (Moscow) in the late 80s and came back with his assessment that "the Russians are NOT happy people" (his emphasis, not mine). I assumed he meant that they lacked warmth in general and were not a welcoming type of people in most social environments. Some of that may have been the oppressive environment of Soviet society, but I think it goes back centuries, probably to the beginnings of Russia itself,.

The Honourable High Excellent Majesty, Czar Comrade Vladimir has conquered aging and all other natural forces, beaming eternal youth and brilliance of soul and intellect, and all of you are jealous! A demigod, he has reversed the aging process, in fact is becoming younger and more of a beauty in defiance of God himself, a true warrior for the Motherland, without any assistance from any person or any technology. He will save us all!!!

They can't shine our shoes!

^^^We can't shine theirs, or at least we couldn't. The first time I was there (1989) it appeared that most people in Moscow were wearing plastic shoes. In the snow in November.

The Russians who immigrate to the United States are usually smart and hardworking. They know Russia is a shithole, that’s why they left.

Are there any theme parks in Russia?
Do they have a Snow White's Scary Adventures ride?

"When did Russia become such a piece of shit hellhole?"
Become? It's always been a shithole, even back in the days of the tsars.

From some of the elderly Russian people I've spoken too it was pretty much always a piece of shit.

If they illegally enter the U.S. in caravans and use children as Get-Out-Of-Jail Free cards, will the media and Social Justice Warriors support giving them amnesty?

No, R128, but you be sure to let us know if that ever happens.
Free clue: it hasn't, and your pretense that it has simply establishes you as a fool.

They are all natural born criminals. I have hired a lot of day labor for small jobs around the house or the job site. Mostly Hispanic guys but on occasion Russians. Every single time I hire a Russian guy to do some work, they always have an angle how to skirt the system. For example, one asked me while putting in a light if I wanted to tap into the main buildings power source so I could get all my electricity in my unit for free. Another one freaked out when he saw packages from UPS on my door step. He couldn't believe that people wouldn't steal it. In Russia, he told me it would never show up because even your closets neighbor is a thief when no one is looking.
It never occurs to them to not exploit a situation if its something they could get away with.

It always has been. That’s why they have so many mail order brides.

In the early 1990's there was a Jewish non-profit group in WeHo that was working to get Jews out of Russia. Many settled in WeHo where this non-profit was based. Immediately they clashed with the long-established gay community and many of these problems are still ongoing.
At that time, I had a gym buddy in WeHo who was Russian born but had lived in the US since he was a baby. He told me to not trust Russians, they will scam you, steal from you, it is just how their system in Russia worked. My friend was very all-American looking and didn't look Russian but spoke it, so as he went through his day, he'd hear them in Russian calling him a fag and other derogatory remarks. He'd call them out on their shit, and boy once they knew he was Russian, their attitude changed immediately, all of sudden they were nice guys.
P.S. Netflix has a great show about the last Czar, it is really good, I highly recommend it.

[quote] Life in Russia has actually improved a lot. It is probably the best time to be Russian that there has ever been.
How so? Has the weekly potato ration increased?

It has improved some, R138, in the sense that it’s now where the US was in the second half of the twentieth century.
When the Soviet Union ended in 1992, Russia was starting from a very low base.
